The present invention relates to the field of electroplating, specifically to a Fe—Ni—P-RE multicomponent alloy plating layer and the electrodeposition method and application thereof. The prepared alloy plating layer is suitable for applications in fields such as microelectronics and semiconductor function devices.

Fe—Ni alloys represented by Invar alloy, Kovar alloy and perm-alloy, are widely accepted for their advantages of the performance in thermal expansion and soft magnetic properties. In recent years, following the development of technologies in the microelectronics industry, the advantages of Fe—Ni alloy materials in nature such as lead-free solder-ability and interface reaction rate are gradually being recognized by researchers and investigated in depth. The related achievements are being published continuously from the studies. A large amount of study data shows that Fe—Ni thin film materials hold good solder-ability and slow interface reaction rate. It lays the foundation for the wide application of Fe—Ni thin film materials in the micro-electronics industry. Nevertheless, if used as magnetic core of inductor devices in chips, the existing Fe—Ni thin film materials tend to consume energy in their high-frequency application, which results in a rapid decrease of inductance and lost advantages in power conversion. Therefore, more research is urged to carry out further studies in order to improve the performance of materials.

Compared with the preparation methods such as magnetron sputtering, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atom layer deposition frequently used in the microelectronics industry, the electroplating method is preferred in the industries due to its advantages of low upfront investment on equipment, easy and feasible operation, short cycle of material preparation, high efficiency, low operation cost, etc.

In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a Fe—Ni—P-RE multicomponent alloy plating layer as well as the electrodeposition method and application thereof.

Through adding appropriate additives and adjusting the process parameters, an alloy plating layer with controllable composition is obtained through electroplating.

In order to realize the purposes above, the technical scheme of the present invention is:

A Fe—Ni—P-RE multicomponent alloy plating layer that is plated on a substrate by means of electroplating comprises the elements of Fe, Ni, P and RE, wherein the mass percentages of various elements are respectively: Fe being 20˜65%, Ni being 25˜70%, Fe+Ni being 65˜90%, RE being 2˜25%, the balance being P; and RE being rare earth element.

Said rare earth element is one or two selected from La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu, Gd and Tb.

Said substrate is copper or other metal material.

An electrodeposition preparation method of said Fe—Ni—P-RE multicomponent alloy plating layer that the alloy layer is electrically deposited on substrate at constant voltage or constant current, wherein: the used plating solution comprises main salt(s), complexing agent(s) and water, the chemical composition and concentration of said main salt(s) are: ferrite being 0.01-0.09 mol/L, nickel salt(s) being 0.01-0.09 mol/L, NaH2PO2 being 0.1 mol/L, RECl3 being 0.5-4 g/L, H3BO3 being 0.5 mol/L, said complexing agent being Na3C6H5O7 with a concentration of 0.1-0.2 mol/L in the plating solution, the balance being water. HCl or H2SO4 is used to adjust the pH value of the plating solution to 2˜5 and the temperature of the plating solution is 45˜70° C.

The current density at constant current is 3.0˜9.0 A/dm3 and the voltage at constant voltage is −0.9˜−3.0 V.

In said plating solution, the ferrite(s) is one or two selected from FeSO4 and FeCl2. The nickel salt(s) is one or two from NiSO4 and NiCl2. Said plating solution can also comprise an assistant complexing agent(s) to promote co-deposition of multicomponent system whose concentration is 0.005-0.015 mol/L.

Said assistant complexing agent(s) can be one or two from EDTA-2Na or NH4Cl.

Said plating solution can also comprise a brightener and a wetting agent to improve the surface quality of plating. Said brightener is saccharin sodium or butynediol with a concentration of 0.5-2.5 g/L. Said wetting agent is sodium dodecyl sulfate with a concentration of 0.1-0.5 g/L.

According to the present invention, before electrodeposition of alloy plating layer on a substrate, a copper sheet is treated on the surface to remove any dust, oil or grease and oxide, etc. Then 5% H2SO4 is used to activate its surface. Then the substrate is washed with de-ionized water before placed in a plating tank to carry out electrodeposition process.

The ratio among different components in the plating layer can be adjusted through modifying the content(s) of the main salt(s), the content(s) of the complexing agent(s) in the plating solution and any one or more process parameters during the process of electrodeposition.

The alloy plating layer according to the present invention is applied in the fields such as microelectronics and semi-conductor function devices.

The principle of the present invention is as follows:

The magnetism of solid material comes from the spin and orbital motion of various charged particles. As for transition metals, the wave functions of 3d electrons overlap between each other to provide the metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, Yb, Gd and their alloys ferromagnetism through direct exchange interaction. As for rare earth metals, the 4f electron cloud of the adjacent atoms do not overlap with each other. But the s itinerant electrons can function as a medium through indirect exchange interaction to cause f electrons to change spin orientation and hence show spin magnetization: for light rare earth metals whose atomic number is smaller than Gd, the magnetic moment of 3d atom is parallel with the magnetic moment of 4f atom, so the magnetic moments of them ferromagnetic couple with each other; for heavy rare earth metal whose atomic number is higher than Gd, the corresponding magnetic moments are anti-parallel showing ferri-magnetic coupling effect. If the rare earth element(s) is added in Fe, Ni, the Slater-Pauling curve can be used to analyze the atomic magnetic moment and the magneto-crystalline anisotropy exerted by rare earth metal. Meanwhile, with the synergistic effect from the factors such as crystallite size, structure and material internal stress, the magnetism of material can also be controllable. The present invention adds an appropriate amount of rare earth element(s) in the FeNi(P) alloy to realize a controllable management on the magnetic performances of material such as coercivity, magnetization intensity and magnetic anisotropy. Through adding P element in the plating solution, the electrical property of the plating layer is improved and hence the energy loss at high frequency can be decreased. Through adding rare earth element(s), the performances are improved in terms of the stability of plating solution, the magnetic performance of plating layer and the corrosion resistance. The method according to the present invention can produce a multicomponent alloy plating layer with different compositions through adjusting the formula of plating solution and the parameters of plating process. Hence, the material indices such as thermo expansion coefficient, resistivity, and saturation magnetic induction can be further regulated to expand the application of Fe—Ni alloy materials.

The present invention has the following advantages:

1. The present invention can produce a Fe—Ni—P-RE multicomponent alloy plating layer. Through adjusting the content(s) of the main salt(s) and the content(s) of the complexing agent(s) in the plating solution as well as the process parameters during electrodeposition, the alloy plating layer can be produced to have different compositions so as to expand the application of materials.

2. In the Fe—Ni—P-RE multicomponent alloy plating layer prepared according to the present invention, the mass percentage of Fe in the plating solution is 20%-65%, 25%-70% for Ni, 65%-90% for sum of Fe and Ni. The ratio between Fe, Ni and rare earth component can be adjusted to realize the modification on thermal expansion coefficient, magnetic property, and electrical property of film material.

3. The Fe—Ni—P-RE plating layer prepared according to the present invention has an improved of electric property through adding P element in the plating solution to reduce the energy loss at high-frequency application. Through adding rare earth element, the magnetic property of plating layer is improved. Meanwhile, the surface quality is also improved without adding any additive.
